Hello everyone, I'm having a little issue with my Premiere Pro CS5 that one of you more tech savvy video editing geniuses might be able to help me with.
I filmed an event recently (Indian post wedding party, similar to a wedding reception) on two cameras, my main camera is a Sony V1U which films in 1080i at 30 fps, and the other was my beat-up old crappy PD150 in DVCAM widescreen which records in 576p at 25fps. This was the first time I'd used my old camera in over a year, but it still worked fine and the footage looks decent.
I know the cameras film very different footage (different frame size, different frame rate, progressive/interlaced, etc.), so I was aware I may run into some problems with poor compression. Okay so I started cutting everything together today. I'm using the same sequence setting preset that I always use with my V1, which is "HDV 1080i30 (60i)". My problem is that when I import the footage from the PD150 and insert it into my timeline, the footage shakes vertically. Every three frames, everything moves up a pixel then back again in another three frames. The footage itself does not do this, only when I insert into the timeline.
Has anyone had this problem before, or can anyone think of any possible causes/solutions? I'll upload a sample of the problem if that helps. Thanks everyone!
